The Daiquiri is synonymous with warm weather. It doesn't matter if it's a beach trip or a jaunt down to New Orleans a Daiquiri pairs well with just about anything. Over the years Daiquiris have evolved into a mix based frozen concoction that you can get at gas stations in Louisiana, but it's true roots are a really simple and refreshing drink that you can make at home. 

1 oz Aged White Rum

1 oz Coconut Rum 

1 oz Lime Juice

1 oz Simple Syrup

Shake with Ice and serve in a chilled glass (or over ice in a plastic cup if you're a the beach or walking around Bourbon St)

The Old Fashioned is one of the classic American cocktails. Lot of different bars have put their own spin on it over the years. Some use rum instead of whiskey or bourbon, others use different syrups rather than sugar. Here's a version I was first introduced to at The Pearl Hotel down on 30A in Florida. 

Each week we highlight a different drink from a state or region. This week we're making a Florida Keys classic The Rum Runner in celebration of Spring Break. 

Each week we highlight a different drink from a state or region. This week we're heading to Oxford, Mississippi for a drink that's great as a cocktail or mixed in large batches as a punch. 

Each week we highlight a different drink from a state or region. This week we're starting with an Alabama classic that originated in Tuscaloosa but has become famous nationwide.
